Tips and Tactics to Identify New Markets (and Avoid Bad Ones)

Discover your new best opportunity to grow market share fast.

All manufacturers have a common priority — locate and master the best markets for them ahead of their competitors to grow market share and improve customer experiences.

From finding the diamonds in the rough to delivering new products tailored for your markets, you need a higher level of precision in targeting and fulfilling new opportunities. Add in the speed of business today and increasing customer expectations, global manufacturers have never had so much pressure to get to market fast and with great results.

You can’t afford to waste your time or resources in locations where your business will never be profitable.

For the best results, your team needs to be able to visualize the whole story for defining your best growth opportunities. In addition to your own historic internal analysis and charts, you need to be able to answer these questions:

What are the most current customer demographics?
What are the latest population and economic trends by region or segment?
Where will growth come more predictably?
What regulatory considerations will impact my supply chain?
Where are the optimal routes to market?
How can I evaluate success from day 1?

This webinar will outline key challenges facing global manufacturers as they pursue sustainable growth and the value of geospatial insights to speed new business development decisions and reduce risks. You will learn how geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analytics provide a natural layer of collaboration with existing data systems to provide an unprecedented understanding of where to grow your next best markets, fast.

Outpace and outperform your competition with:

Faster times to new markets with higher customer engagement
Mitigated risks and costly wastes from getting into markets that have unseen constraints
Highest performing distribution network spanning, production, supply chain, sales channels and services

You’ll also hear several real world examples from companies — from manufacturing and retail organizations — who have transformed their go-to-market strategies with geospatial insights that includes launching products faster, creating new routes to market for higher customer engagement and effectively contracting facilities in under-performing areas.
